Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of sevoflurane on proliferation and invasion in human prostate cancer PC3 cell line. Methods The cells were randomly divided into four groups:control group and three sevoflurane groups (exposed to 1.7%, 3.4%and 5.1%sevollurane for 2, 4 and 6 h respectively). The ability of prolifera-tion and invasion of PC3 cells were evaluated by MTT and Transwell invasion assays. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) in PC3 cells. Results The ability of proliferation and invasion of PC3 cells was significantly increased after being exposed to sevollurane for 2, 4 and 6 h (P<0.05), and the expression of HIF-1αprotein in PC3 cells was significantly higher after being exposed to sevollurane for 2,4 and 6 h (P<0.05), showing the Treat 3 group>Treat 2 group>Treat 1 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Sevoflurane can promote prolifer-ation and invasion in PC3 cells, which are gradually increased with time and concentration of sevoflurane treatment. The mechanism may involve in the up-regulation of HIF-1αexpression.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of prognosis risk assessment and clinical applicability of Rockall (RS) and Blatchford scoring system (BRS) for acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB). Methods From January 2009 to December 2009, the clinical date 195 ANVUGIB patients who met the standards with complete information and treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were recorded. Each patient's scores of RS and BRS were calculated for risk stratification. Patients were followed up for 30 days after discharged.Death or the prognosis of disease in 30 days after discharged was considered as clinical study endpoints.Checked prognostic capacity of these two scoring system. Results In the 195 patients, there were 150 years, mean age was 53.97±18.34 years. 90 patients' age was over sixty (elderly group), 105 less than sixty (non-elderly group). 182 patients survived (93.3%), while 13 dead (6.7%). In survival patients, 11were re-bleeding (5.6 %). Mortality ( 12.2 %, 11/90), the percentage of patients with comorbidities (43.3%, 39/90) and taking aspirin (24. 4%, 22/90) were higher in elderly patients than non-elderly patients (1.9%, 2/105; 16.2%, 17/105; 11.4%, 12/105 respectively)(P<0.05).The AUC of RS in predicting risk of death was 0.742 (P=0.004) and re-bleeding was 0.469 (P=0.101). For BRS score system, the AUC of predicting risk of death was 0. 493 (P= 0. 067)and rebleeding was 0.341(P=0.092). The RS score was positively correlated with length of hospital stay,however there was no statistically significant between BRS score and length of hospital stay.Conclusion RS score system was good at predicting the risk of death, and the score was positively correlated with length of hospital stay. While it was poor in predicting the risk of re-bleeding. BRS performed poorly in predicting the risk of both death and re-bleeding, so it was not suitable for predicting the risk of hospitalized patients.
